Broken vertebrae and collapsed lung for Walter Roelants
The news hit like a bomb yesterday. Walter Roelants crashed in stage 4 and had to be removed by helicopter. It is thickened, two broken vertebrae and a collapsed lung.
He is currently in a hospital with his son Axel and there is consultation with Toon Claes from Herentals to see how to proceed. That this should happen to Walter is pure horror. His son Joël crashed during the Italian GP in 2014 and became paralyzed. To be clear: according to a message from Joël, his father can move everything and that is good news.
Yesterday Walter Roelants ended up in a kind of rain ditch and was thrown from the motorcycle.
